Thanks for sending this out.

Based on your instructions I'm trying to setup a simple, manually keyed labeled
IPsec connection between two machines running the lspp.55 kernel; both are using
the MLS policy in permissive mode.  Unfortunately, I can't seem to get it to
work; I assume I am doing something wrong but it is not obvious to me ...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
